UPDATE: Oct. 26, 2016, 3:18 p.m. BST A NASA spokesman denied to Mashablethat the feed was accurate. There is no spacewalk being conducted outside the International Space Station today.
A Facebook Live video allegedly showing a live feed of the International Space Station (ISS) is going viral on social media though there are several doubts on its authenticity.
The alleged live footage was posted by several media outlets and pages, including UNILAD, Viral USA and INTERESTINATE, gathering an insane amount of views and likes.
The video on Viral USA'sFacebook page has been going on for three hours and has got more than 2 million likes, 400k shares and 280k views. High figures were also recorded by UNILAD, which tagged the International Space Station in the caption.
However, there is no mention of a Facebook live from the ISS on the official NASAwebsite or Facebook page.
NASA announces it whenever a spacewalk is expected to occur on the station, and they don't have anything about a spacewalk on their schedule for today. If the livestreams are showing spacewalks, that's a big hint they're fake.
Earlier in May, a Facebook Live between the company's founder Mark Zuckerberg and three astronauts living and working aboard the ISS was announced with a press release and the footage could be seen live on NASA's Facebook page.
Similarly, the ISS official website is currently showing a different stream.
UNILAD's Facebook Live is eerily similar to one from 2013 showing ISS Expedition 38 with Russian astronauts Oleg Kotov & Sergei Ryazanski.
The two Russian cosmonauts can be seen with the Olympic torch for Sochi winter games:
Or these two:
Mashablehas reached out to NASA for comment and will update accordingly.
If you do want to see a live stream from the Space Station, you can thanks to an experiment attached to the outside of the orbiting outpost right now.
A camera mounted to the outer part of the station beams down live views of the Earth from space whenever it had the link up to do so. You can watch the live feed in the window below.
You can also watch the live stream directly through NASA.
